Thanks Caussway, Newguy69, Buzz, Garion, r52lanc!!! Trying out my new toy.... Robert: Yeah, Bigma is really amazing....

You can read about the setup and exif over here:

I like the way the details of the Bigma is being captured.... wasn't able to resolve so much detail with me prev cam. And the 8 megapix is truly great to crop.

Very detailed. Would be a 1-UP if the background is taken care of too. The last pix appears to have some yellow/green cast, or is it my monitor?

The ability to crop is great...due to the 8Mpixels...

Hi Garion,

Yeah, its really very tempting. That's why I went out to get one after using it for a day. Its really good for fast movers. So many new features. Ok maybe some consider it evolutionary features.... ANyway, you also gain one stop in useable ISO, better and faster AF, 5fps, better buffer, ETTL2 (quite good, you can never over expose, it seems) and direct access to the 9 AF points. Think you can consider it since you are doing birds.

Madcat II · 26th September 2004

so I c that you have a new toy liao

... did u oso get the v-grip too??

Zplus · 27th September 2004

Rediscovering my love for nature again.

Madcat, yeah I would love to buy that too. Its not in stock yet though. Feels a little small without the vertical grip. Esp with the 50-500.

ccplim · 27th September 2004

OMG! Look at those details in the 2nd pic!

You 50-500 seems to be sharper than mine.

Ya lah. Whay I cannot seem to get these kind of details with my lens

?

Zplus · 27th September 2004

jeff, I think the color cast may be light reflected off the leaves??

ccplim, jbma, I think the detail is partly due to the new cam. My prev 300D also did not resolve so much detail from the 50-500.
